'Personhood' amendment backers submit signatures (http://www.rockymountainnews.com/news/2008/may/13/personhood-amendment-backers-submit-signatures/)
Tuesday, May 13, 2008
Supporters of a movement to declare a fertilized human egg a person in the state constitution turned in 131,235 voter signatures Tuesday to get a measure on the November ballot.
They called it a historic step toward Colorado becoming the first state to pass a "personhood amendment."
Opponents said it's an attempt to erode abortion rights.
"Colorado will become ground zero for the issue of life in the United States of America," supporter Mark Hoteling told an ebullient crowd of more than 100 people at the Knights of Columbus Hall near the Capitol.

This is a very possible amendment. Our governor is Democrat, but he's pro-life and has done nothing to increase gun control.
